BTW, I don't get what the lion says... "Like, roar, said roar?" What's THAT supposed to mean?

[sideshowcarny]

I think it's supposed to be beatnik slang. Much like the later hippies and valley girls would use the term "like" as a catch-all phrase. "Like roar, Sid, roar."

How was this racist?

It is not as if the guy was in blackface saying "Mammy!" like Al Jolson and urging you to go to the snackbar.

My family loves this little ad.

+1 for Gerald McBoingBoing!

I actually find this animation style extremely nostalgic and fun. While I can't blame the culture for evolving and borrowing, too many people are taking from the stiff, comic-book animation style of anime, which borders too heavily on extremes of realism or comedy to be relevant.

I think what makes the ending look so surprising is that the dog looks like a crappy 80's cartoon character.

@pegbars Great to know who did this and a little thing I saw early Saturday mornings on a station that had to do the Christian kiddie show in town!

@siouxweety And it's also not going on multiple talk shows talking about who's the real parent of a baby and starring in big budget movies as comedic roles and exploitation, setting his rights back a hundred years.

I really miss drive-in movie theaters. I used to love these little intermission films.

@sideshowcarny: It's obviously a reference to beat culture since the dog/Dr. Pepper gag @ about 1:27 is essentially doing the same thing.
